Kevin Feige has spoken out about the decision to cast Tilda Swinton – a white woman – as The Ancient One, a character traditionally portrayed as an elderly Asian man, in 2016’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Strange.

In a rare move for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios president, Fe🎶ige reflected on what he now bel꧙ieves was the wrong choice in a new interview with .

"We thought we were being so smart, and so cutting-edge. We’re not going to do the cliché of the wizened, old, wise Asian man. But it was a wake-up call to say, ‘Well, wait a minute, is there any other way to figure it out? Is there any other way to both 🍎not fall into the cliché and cast an Asian actor?’ And the answer to that, of course, is yes," Feige admitted.

It’s clearly not a knock against Swinton’s performance, though it speaks to Marvel Studios’ desire to now get these things right. The Ancient One, who also appeared briefly in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame, was seen by some as an example of ‘whitewashing’ – the act of replacing an Asia🐷n character with a white 🐻actor.

Things, though, are changing. Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, a predominantly Asian-led movie, is arriving this September and Feige also describes it as part of the "next sort of eꦺvolution of the MCU."
